Interpretation

Commentary
The inscription seems to start with the vocative h, rather than the typical lām auctoris. It is possible that the inscription begins on another stone, the other side of this particular stone, or is a continuation of one of the other inscriptions on the same face of the stone. Josef Bloomfield
